Wargaming.net has recently announced a new Unified Premium Account system for their "World of..." games. What exactly does that mean? Well World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and World of Warships are all free-to-play games with premium services. With a UPA you can benefit from those premium services under one account. Basically, if you purchase a premium account for World of Tanks, that account will also be active for World of Warplanes, World of Warships, and even any future Wargaming title.

The UPA system will be officially launching during one of the stages of the World of Warplanes open beta and players will receive free tokens that can be used to purchase a UPA. If you play World of Tanks and you use the premium services, this is definitely something to look into, especially if you plan to check out World of Warplanes and/or World of Warships.

​Wargaming Announces Unified Premium Account System
Pay once, benefit from premium features for all current and future Wargaming titlesMay 30, 2013 — Wargaming, the leading free-to-play developer and publisher, today announced its Unified Premium Account service, the next step in the company’s ambitious Wargaming.net service strategy to connect all of the company’s titles under one online ecosystem and community.

The Unified Premium Account, which grants bonuses such as increased experience and credit accrual rate, will be applied across all of Wargaming’s video game titles. Purchasing a premium account in World of Tanks will benefit in that account also being active for World of Warplanes, World of Warships, and any other future Wargaming title.

The Unified Premium Account will officially launch during one of the stages of World of Warplanes open beta, where players will receive special tokens for free that can be used to purchase a Unified Premium Account. These tokens will serve as the equivalent of in-game gold during the open beta testing phase. Wargaming’s upcoming naval-combat MMO World of Warships will also feature the Unified Premium Account once that title goes into open beta.

“The Unified Account is the next step in our goal to fully connect all of our gaming titles into one living, breathing ecosystem,” said Andrei Yarantsau, VP of Global Operations at Wargaming. “Giving our players the benefits and convenience of having premium features carry over through all of our games is something that we feel will be a tremendous value to them and truly enhance their gaming experience no matter what title of ours they play.”
“We’ve created a unique approach to the free-to-play concept, and we’ll keep providing our players with highest quality services,” added Yarantsau.
